Abstract:
|
"This paper will explore both the tensions and the common ground between Education for Sustainable
Development (ESD) and Education for All (EFA) and identify the potential synergies between them.
It will argue that ESD has a strategic role to play with regard to key Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs), especially the over-arching goal of poverty reduction, as well as in terms of environmental
sustainability. The paper will consider ways in which ESD and the DESD can contribute to the EFA
agenda and will demonstrate how this could strengthen and enhance the EFA goals towards quality
education for all. While acknowledging the different agendas and unique strengths and perspectives
of EFA and ESD, this paper will propose a strategy for moving towards increased synergy and
collaboration. In doing this, it will take both a structural and conceptual approach. It will identify
some of the organizational and learning implications for this process and examine how this coming
together will build support for education and help to raise the national and international profi le of
both ESD and EFA. Finally, this paper will try to suggest ways forward for bringing together ESD and
EFA within shared mechanisms and processes". |
